Chapter 37 Ping An Town

"I won't send him away. You decide your own path ahead." Zuo Xiao finally said.

The study, which had been bustling all spring, became very quiet when summer came.

The grandfather and grandson, who sat opposite each other at the desk every day, studying and studying the art of sealing, have already left.

After people leave, the room full of books cannot fill the emptiness.

There is a beam of window light on the desk, and outside the aperture, there is a closed book lying flat. It has not been read for a long time, and it is silent at this moment when the strong light cannot reach it.

It was the last one Jiang Wang read.

On the cover it says:.

The author is Zuo Qiuwu.



Before leaving the Chu Kingdom, I met Duke Yu.

He came in his regular clothes, walked across the sky, and without saying anything else, handed over a food tray: "Because of the threat of an old man who wishes to remain anonymous, I specially made a tray of 'Purifying Mind God' for you. "Ding Gao", when you feel like you can't resist the will of heaven, just eat one, it will make you feel better. There are nine in total, so save some."

Jiang Wang took the food drawer, sniffed it gently, and smiled brightly: "It smells so good!"

Qu Jinkui said: "Is there more?"

He added: "It's useless to have too much."

So I saluted and said goodbye.

Jiang Wang hung his sword on his body and walked on the wind.

People say that the process of heaven and man walking towards the way of heaven is the process of "seeing the way" and "obtaining the way". In this process, heaven and man with unparalleled talents will become eternally powerful.

In Jiang Wang's opinion, the process of heaven and man moving towards the way of heaven is a process of drowning.

Lose emotions, lose everything.

The moment he reaches the end, he kills himself.

Now is not the time for comfort before death. There is no such thing as "carpe diem" or "final madness". He doesn't think he will die, and he doesn't accept the inevitable outcome of failure.

And even if it is inevitable to be swallowed up by the law of heaven and die tomorrow, his freedom is upward, not downward.

Jiang Wang, who left Chu State alone, took the half-finished seal diagram designed by Zuo Xiao for him, intending to seal the second level of heavenly human form.

This name certainly places the good hopes of the elders on it.

But it can only be a semi-finished product.

The human form of the second heaven is inherently stronger than the human form of the first heaven, and it is more difficult to seal the town. In addition, Zuo Xiao can only work from the outside in. Without being able to touch him, he cannot specifically contact the second heaven. The human form can only be conceived and constructed through Jiang Wang's own sensory description - which is of course a huge fallacy.

In addition to studying the sealing technique these days, Jiang Wang is constantly studying his second heavenly human form so that he can fully analyze all its details, striving to give Zuo Xiao a more accurate understanding and thus be more targeted. Create a sealing technique on earth.

All we can say now is that the road ahead will be long and difficult.

The deduction became more and more difficult as it progressed. So Zuo Xiao even invited Qi Guanzhen - of course, it was not that Qi Guanzhen treated the state of heaven and man as a disease. But he had some dangerous ideas that he wanted to try. For example, could it be possible? Cutting out the state of heaven and man like a sore...

Official Qi was really invited to save Jiang Wang's life.

In the end it didn't work.

The state of a heavenly being is not like a tumor or a sore on the body. It is about a practitioner entering a wonderful realm at a certain stage and getting closer to the eternal truth about the way of heaven.

Even if Jiang Wang is peeled off and his bones removed, this favor of heaven cannot be removed.

It has always been recognized by the world that the royal family of the Yang Kingdom are the best at sealing.

The surname of Jiu Yangshu was from the royal family, and she was a descendant of Qing Emperor Sui Yansu.

This king is one of the eight ancient sages. He once patrolled the human territory day and night, protecting countless ordinary people who could not be extraordinary from evil spirits. He also created a sealing technique unique to the human race, and based on this, he developed the method of controlling the strong with the weak. Animal skills.

The myth and legend of the Day-Wandering God and the Night-Wandering God evolved from her deeds. Later human cultivators regarded her as their ancestor in the art of sealing and controlling beasts.

That is to say, these two paths of practice have failed.

.

The glorious scene was no longer glorious. The Yang Kingdom was also destroyed, and the royal family surnamed Ji no longer existed. This "Ancestor of the East", who was also the "ancestor of the seal" and the "original ancestor of beast control", gradually faded away from his existence.

As the overlord of the Eastern Region after Yang State, Qi State did inherit the Yang State legacy from Chen Chen at a certain period of time, and even said that he was the ancient Yang Zhengshuo.

But it was still the original "Nine Kingdoms of the Rising Sun" that first divided up the Yang Kingdom and "eat the Yang and become fat".

Of course, the Nine Kingdoms of Sunrise, which once dominated the Eastern Region and competed for supremacy, have been destroyed by Qi, and the remaining three kingdoms of Xu, Zhao, and Chang have also bowed their heads.

There is not much problem in saying "the treasures of the old sun are all in the treasury of the people of Qi".

Even the former Taiyang Palace has become the current Jixia Academy.

However, after many years of war and the destruction of many countries, most of the secret techniques of the Jiuyang royal family were lost. The sealing techniques passed down by the Qing Emperor had long since disappeared.

In the entire Qi Kingdom, there is really no master who is good at sealing arts, and can be said to be stronger than Zuo Xiao in sealing arts.

This is also the reason why Zuo Xiao wanted to keep Jiang Wang in Chu State to solve the problem in the first place.

Now after a spring, the Chu State still cannot solve the threat of celestial beings and humans, so it is natural to try other methods.

It is definitely necessary to visit Qi State. If time permits, Jiang Wang will not miss the "Guyangzhengshuo" of Xu State, Zhao State and Chang State.

However, he did not go east immediately. Regarding matters in the Eastern Region, just write a letter. When it came to arranging these matters, Chong Xuan Sheng was much more flexible than him.

The strongest sealing technique inheritance is the inheritance of Qingdi. Everyone admits this. But in the book written by the contemporary dean of Qinku Academy, he repeatedly emphasized——

The most powerful feudal town in history, which is still standing today, was created by the emperors of the Middle Ages.

It is the "Nine Towns of the Changhe River".

The nine sons of the Lieshan family, the dragon-making emperor, and the Xihun family were the nine towns. The Changhe River has been peaceful since then and has been peaceful for hundreds of thousands of years.

In Zuo Qiuwu's comment, the Nine Towns of the Changhe River are the greatest wonders of the closed towns. It is just that the Lieshan clan and the Xihun clan once sat and talked about Taoism and fought side by side, but later they killed their nine sons to build the Nine Bridges... The cruelty of this incident, It obscures its greatness to a certain extent.

In his writings, Zuo Qiuwu cited many historical materials to verify the unshakable great status of the nine towns of Changhe in the field of sealing, and also demonstrated in detail the influence of the nine towns of Changhe on later generations of sealing.

Although Jiang Wang has just started in the field of sealing arts and does not fully understand the significance of the Nine Towns of Changhe in sealing arts, he still admires it.

Therefore, his first journey away from the Queen of Chu was to the Luo Kingdom.

To be more precise, it is Qi Niu Bridge, the first town in the Changhe River near Luo Kingdom.

The Luo Kingdom, known as the "Kingdom on the Water", naturally relies on water for drafts, and its domestic economy is mainly based on river harvesting. It has never had a sense of existence. Until a certain king suddenly "enlightened", at a banquet, his ears were full of wine, and he raised his voice. Cup shouted: "Aren't aquatic animals aquatic products?"

At that time, the officials were so frightened that they leaned over and the singer forgot to sing.

But since then, the Luo Kingdom has started the Shui Tribe slave business semi-openly, ushering in a period of abnormal economic prosperity.

Later, they even had a "three-legged confrontation" with Zhuang and Yong. Even if they were weak, they would not lose much in the matter of "rich treasury". In the past, whether Yong bullied Zhuang or Zhuang defeated Yong, they could not ignore the existence of the Luo Kingdom. .

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.

Since Zhuang Gaoxian's indiscriminate attack a few years ago, the Luo Kingdom's power has been in a state of decline——

The man surnamed Zhuang completed part of the transaction with Long Jun, but unfortunately he died of Sauvignon Blanc without waiting for the reward. Their transaction naturally went to sleep with him.

But the blows suffered by Luo Country did not stop there.

The slave business of the Shui Tribe is expressly prohibited. In the current environment of preparations for war against Shenxiao, the top management of the human race must maintain the stability of the world, especially to appease the Shui Tribe.

The ancient covenant was mentioned again and again, and the contribution of the Shui Tribe to the stability of the world was confirmed again and again. Changhe Longjun was even invited into Tianjing City, and the Emperor Ji Fengzhou drank with him and admired the flowers.

Luo Guo stepped on the belt with his feet

.

The dotted line of warning turned into a solid line of murderous intent. Life became difficult.

Of course Jiang Wang was also concerned about these things. Taixu cabinet ministers have no authority to interfere in worldly affairs, but the young man named Jiang Wang rescued the Bei girl by the Qingjiang River for the first time. It was indeed at that time, I saw the "difference" between the world I had known in the past and the real world.

Someone asked him at that time - "What history do you know?"

After that, he often asked himself - is what you saw really the truth?

A living being's understanding of the world begins with doubt.

Jiang Wang silently observed the situation in the Luo Kingdom, and also supported the ancient alliance between the human race and the Shui Tribe. Now he passed through the Luo Kingdom without entering, and went straight to Qi Niu Bridge.

As the eldest son of the Xihun family, the name "Prison Niu" was also a well-known name in the medieval times.

Even now that the Dragon Clan has been expelled and a large amount of information has been erased, the eldest son of the Dragon Emperor is mentioned in the book passed down as the "serious scripture of the human race". He is said to be "extravagant, extravagant, evil-natured, and prone to slander." Various departments have repeatedly made mistakes in important matters."

But in what Jiang Wang just read, Zuo Qiuwu also mentioned a few words about Prisoner Niu, saying that he "has a good temperament, a gentle nature, good deeds, and is respected by all parties."

The comment says, "The first of the nine towns in the Yangtze River can use its virtues to achieve long-term peace and stability."

Even Ao Kui once said when he was scolding Ao Shuyi that the prisoner cow is lenient and good at happiness...

Now that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, it may not be that important anymore which one is the more real prisoner cow.

At least Jiang Wang now has no intention of exploring.

He just wanted to know how the emperor of the Middle Ages sealed the town as a prisoner of cattle and how it lasted so long.

He also rode across this bridge across the Changhe River when he first climbed to the top of the Yellow River. It was the bridge named "Suanni" in the fifth town of the Changhe River.

At that time, he knew nothing about the sealing technique, and his cultivation was far behind. All he could see was the majestic long river, the majestic stone bridge, and his heart was full of the leader of the Yellow River, the best in the world. How could he feel how great a seal this was?

What inspiration can you draw from it?

But to say that this time with the cultivation level of the most powerful real person in the world, he can fully understand the mystery of the seals of the nine towns, is just a fool's dream.

After studying behind closed doors with Duke Huai for a whole spring, he had indeed mastered the art of sealing. It could even be said without humility that he had reached a relatively high level and was considered a master of the art.

But the nine towns of the Changhe River represent the highest peaks in the field of sealing.

He could only look at it with devotion, pursuing that elusive spiritual light.

He just followed the traces of countless historical figures, walking slowly from one end of the ancient stone bridge to the other. He wrote down every pattern and touched every carving.

What kind of power is it that travels through time?

This great stone bridge spans the long river and runs through the entire modern era. It is indestructible in both time and space. It is difficult for humans not to feel their own insignificance when placed in it.

As he walked, Jiang Wang slowly squatted down.

But he quickly stood up again, smoothed his frown, pressed the hilt of his sword, and turned around.

His expression was nothing but calm.

At this moment, in the middle of the stone bridge, there is indeed a figure wearing armor and holding a sword. The broad face has its own majesty, but it is smiling: "Jiang Ge has a good sense!"

The water surface under the Qi Niu Bridge is quiet, and the waves are as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the flowing clouds in the sky.

The chief seal officer of the Dragon Palace and the chief steward of the Yellow River...Fu Yunqin.

Jiang Wang just looked at him and asked with his eyes - "Is something wrong?"

"Jiang Gemin's concentration is really rare." Fu Yunqin's attitude was very close: "But you use a way to amplify pain to keep yourself emotional, so as to get rid of the influence of heaven. In the end, you are treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The effect of pain on you will be

Getting smaller and smaller - even if you are already in pain like this."

"Chief Fu's eyes are amazing! How can I hide anything from you?" Jiang Wang said calmly: "I bet you took the time to come and see me, and you didn't just look at Jiang?"

"Oh, I haven't seen Mr. Jiang for a long time. I was just chatting and almost forgot about the business." Fu Yunqin leaned forward and said, "You are so humble.

.

River, why did you cross the Dragon Palace but not enter? In the past, we offered gifts to the Dragon Palace, and it has been years since we parted ways. It just so happened that the sky was clear and the summer wind was strong, so the Dragon Palace’s new tea was picked... My master has invited me."

"Next time just say the last six words." Jiang Wang let go of the hilt of his sword, turned around, and continued to study the reliefs on the bridge: "No time."

He has always been a person who cherishes time, especially now.

No matter what Long Jun has on his mind, he doesn't want to and has no time to explore.

Fu Yunqin said: "My master has been in charge of the Dragon Palace for hundreds of thousands of years, and even Bai Yun Cang Dog has passed it by. He also sat down with Lieshan Human Emperor to discuss Taoism, and actually he has also done some research on sealing techniques..."

Jiang Wang watched the complex changes in the stone bridge's carvings and smiled casually: "Why is Lord Long studying sealing techniques? Do you have any ideas about Jiuzhen?"

This question was really dangerous, and Fu Yunqin stood at attention on the spot when he asked it.

Jiang Wang waved his hand: "Mr. Fu, go and do your work. If Jiang is slightly unwell, it won't alert Mr. Long!"

After all, if something happens to Zhenren Jiang now, there are many forces willing to help - but it doesn't matter who shows his kindness, Zhenren Jiang is willing.

And when it comes to his own state and fundamental practice, he needs to be absolutely assured.

He could reveal his cultivation status to Zuo Xiao, and even open the five palaces, share the four seas, and let Zuo Xiao prescribe the right medicine, but it was impossible for him to let Longhe Longjun study him.

We are not even familiar with each other, so why are we so attentive?

Fu Yunqin was about to speak when suddenly waves rolled up behind him and a voice rolled in the air——

"Jian Zhenren! We parted ways at the Dragon Palace banquet and never saw each other again. I always knew that you, your noble man, were busy with things, so I never sent any envoys to bother you. I was lucky enough to cross the river today. I just asked you to sit down and have a chat. I really can't have a moment of free time?"

Dragon Lord Ao Shuyi personally invites you!

Jiang Wang didn't want to be negligent anymore, and withdrew his gaze from observing Shiqiao: "It's indeed been a long time since I went to the Dragon Palace, so I might as well have a cup of tea!"

Immediately the water was divided into a road, and among the vast expanse of waves, a jade staircase appeared.

Fu Yunqin led the way, and Jiang Wang followed. After taking only one step, he saw the majestic Dragon Palace in front of him!

Space is really a clay ball. In the palm of the Dragon Lord, it can be flat or round.

The Dragon Palace attendant opened the door and Jiang Wang stepped into the palace.

The extremely spacious main hall has only two tea tables facing each other.

But I saw a figure wearing a golden robe, sitting behind the tea table on the left, reaching out to Jiang Wang and saying, "Please sit down and drink summer tea."

There is a cup of hot tea on the tea table, filled with mist.

Jiang Wang stepped forward, took the tea cup, raised it and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "I drank the tea and met Mr. Long. Jiang's time is really limited, so I still invite Mr. Long to meet -"

"I know how bitter nature dies." The figure in the golden robe said.

Ao Shuyi, the Changhe Dragon Lord, who has ruled the Changhe Dragon Palace for hundreds of thousands of years and only appeared as a phantom at this moment, rubbed the tea cup and slowly added: "How dare you say it."
